Tells You Exactly How to Play
Intuitive - and standard - tablature notation shows which string and fret to play.
Smooth-scrolling animation shows you when - and for how long.
Just pluck the string when the note hits the playhead.
Real-Time Feedback for Rapid Improvement
Sophisticated pitch and note onset / offset detection algorithms provide instant feedback on your timing and accuracy as you play along with any guitar. No special cables or equipment is needed - FATpick works with any guitar and your device's built-in microphone.
A tight feedback loop is critical when learning a new skill, so FATpick evaluates your performance in real-time. See instant feedback on the notes you hit and miss, or detailed early/perfect/late timing, or turn off color-coding altogether and wait for the performance summary at the end of the song.
Game Mechanics Make It Fun
Playing your favorite songs in an intuitive, game-like app - guitar practice never feels like a chore. Challenges, leaderboards, trophies, dynamic effects, and more keep you motivated and engaged.
But this is more than a game. Instant feedback to identify ways to improve your playing. Historical stats to track your progress. Objective performance feedback is a powerful tool.

570+ Songs Out of the Box
(and you're free to add more)
Most songs contain several instruments or parts to choose from - like lead, rhythm, and bass guitar - almost 2,600 shared tabs are available.
Listen to the full score to get feel for the song, or mute the part you're playing to put yourself right in the middle of the band.

Add Custom Songs
Instantly add custom songs to FATpick by importing any file in the Guitar Pro format - the de facto standard for sharing tabs with hundreds of thousands of files available online.
Simply open the file you want to import, confirm title / artist / album, and optionally look for cover art to associate with the song. Play new songs in seconds.
FATpick users have added more than 3,900 custom tabs - nearly 300 continuous hours of music - and new songs are added every day.
Tools for Guitarists
Our goal is to make FATpick your go-to app for guitar practice — not just the best way to read guitar tabs or learn new songs but a guitar practice companion with the tools and information you want at your fingertips while you practice.
With in-app tools like the metronome or chromatic tuner and reference content like the chord database, track heat map and fretboard charts the information you need is never more than a couple of clicks away.
Free for a limited time.
FATpick has been available for free - no ads, no time limits, no premium content - in order to "field test" the app in diverse environments. This policy remains in effect, but the field testing phase will soon come to an end.
FATpick is still free. But we anticipate switching to a paid model in the coming months. When we do, early adopters - and only early adopters - will be eligible for a special offer that includes a signficant discount from the regular price.
